The Bluest Eye

Toni Morrison

Nobel prize-winning author of Beloved, Toni Morrison’s debut novel immerses us in the tragic, torn lives of a poor black family – Pauline, Cholly, Sam and Pecola – in post-Depression 1940s Ohio.

Unlovely and unloved, Pecola prays each night for blue eyes like those of her privileged white schoolfellows. At once intimate and expansive, unsparing in its truth-telling, The Bluest Eye shows how the past savagely defines the present.

‘Discovering a writer like Toni Morrison is rarest of pleasures’ Washington Post

Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction
